They’re talking about it to the reporters? How is it not a known issue at this point?

No I mean if you buy 100 macbooks some will be locked and essentially worthless.

In that case the value of the entire batch will be lower.

So yes it's a known issue. But for each individual MacBook, it's a potential issue.
